A great next career!

Agent (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 20 April 2019

I was employed in the industrial sector for 35 years. I worked extremely hard, but was limited in how far I could go, based on a very competitive work environment. Compounded with daily stress of the work atmosphere, I was very much ready to retire and seek other opportunities. I am very excited about the opportunity and potential that AIL Edmonton is providing. The management is both supportive and positive! The team feels like family as everyone is there to support each other. Yes, you do have to work hard; but through hard work, a positive attitude and a willingness to learn / teach, the opportunity is truly unlimited. The products offered by the company are there to help families, and you feel good about delivering a product which provides this. Best of all, I can work under my own schedule. The company fully endorses you building your own team and provides lots of training to help you reach your goals. Excited about the potential with AIL Edmonton!

Pros

Positive work place with lots of opportunity!

Cons

Should work at least one day of the weekend, but you control your schedule.

Truly Amazing Opportunity

General Agent (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 19 April 2019

If you are the type of person that likes to get paid what you're worth, willing to work hard, and gain the skills you need to be successful in life, this is the perfect career for you. If you are looking for a 9-5, clock in clock out, hourly wage position to just do your "job", this isn't for you. This is a career that changed my life completely for the better. It has opened up doors I have never thought were possible. This is an opportunity to change your life and help change others' lives. I get to work with my best friends every single day and make a crazy amount of money doing it. Don't think twice, just do it!

Pros

Incredible people, fantastic money

Cons

Absolutely nothing

Amazing opportunity

Agent (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 18 April 2019

Working at American Income is an opportunity unlike any other. You are given the opportunity to shape and mould your career for yourself and chose how quickly you advance and how much income you make. An excellent training program and support system of managers and mentors ensure that, even if you are new to the industry, you have all the tools and resources to be successful. This is not a job for everybody. With the amount of self-direction and schedule you need to be able to hold yourself to account for the amount of hard work and effort that you put into learning and executing the systems and processes. If you can’t hold yourself responsible for putting in an honest full day’s work, then you won’t be successful. The only limitations on your opportunity are those that you place on yourself.

Pros

Family atmosphere, flexible schedule, great pay, great product that helps and protects families

Cons

Schedule is also limited by availability of clients, at minimum some evening and weekends are required

Truly opportunity unlimited

AGENT (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 15 April 2019

All you need is a great attitude, willingness to be coached to succeed, willingness to put in the time and effort to succeed and you'll go a long way with this company. The managers are there to support you along the way , the show you the ocean full of fish and the right fishing rods ... you just have to go get the fish! I truly enjoy working here.

Pros

You are your own advocate and leader

American Income Life

Supervisor Agent (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 11 April 2019

Working at American Income Life has opened doors I would have never have opened. To be a part of a Family is great.. yes I said Family.. going to work every day is not a job when you feel at home and everyone in the office is there to help and support you.

Pros

exciting down south Conferences..

Amazing opportunity and environment

Management (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 11 April 2019

This career is amazing. The people are awesomely diversely weird...in an amazingly silly way. But that's just us having fun. We know how to be serious and know our jobs well. I love that we spend our days protecting families and making sure children are safe. Not only do we get to reach unlimited income potential doing what we love but we make friendships that last a long time as well.

Pros

Income, friendships, independence.

Cons

Have to stay accountable to yourself.

100% effort and attitude will determine success!

Manager (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 10 April 2019

American income life Edmonton is a fantastic place to work. Unfortunately it is hard to find good people with the work ethic and attitude that it takes to be successful. I’ve worked with amazing people that are easy to work with and people with poor attitudes who don’t last long in this industry. For the right person this is the absolute best opportunity!

Pros

Opportunity to work for yourself, balance

Cons

Lots of work in the beginning to set yourself up long term

A good company

Supervising Agent (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 4 April 2019

Good company if you can fit well into their culture. Roam for advancement. You have to be prepared to work long days for the first few months. Every office is also ran differently.

Pros

Good benefits and commission

Cons

Policies can be expensive

Great management and staff, very team oriented

Insurance Agent (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 18 March 2019

My manager at this company was fantastic. Unfortunately I couldn't handle making cold calls and wondering if I was getting paid week to week. This is a commission based job only, so if you are seeking job security look elsewhere.They offer really great benefits and it is great for someone looking for a competitive field.

Pros

Create your own work hours, great people to work with

Cons

No financial stability

excellent place to work

Benefits Specialist/ Insurance Broker (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 14 March 2019

coming from a sales background i would say this job is challenging but worth it. training is provided and you can learn how to make $1000 in a day. you make your own schedules and get to work with like minded people.

Pros

great incentives

Cons

gotta use your own car

good product, poor work environment

Agent in training (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 1 March 2019

Long long days 10 am till 10 pm minimum. 6 days/week. Learned that making money is not as important as my integrity. Leaders here have zero people skills. Good at first. Then honestly found most were bullies. Hardest part of the job- beginning learning curve. Most enjoyable part- talking to people and getting them what they need. I was humiliated in front of the entire office and told by management I was making a 'bad life choice' (asked to not go to training as I had been crying- training was 1hr and repeatable)

Pros

possibility of good money

Cons

long hours- no integrity

Way more work than a regular job

Licensed Insurance Agent (Current Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 25 June 2018

A typical day at work is working hard and not getting paid unless you make a sale. I learned that this job was not for me. Management is multilevel but you can go above your "supervisors".

Poorly Taught Skills

Financial Advisor (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 1 February 2017

Very unimpressed, with the promises from the interview for training and the over aspect of the job. Zero Moral with this company, messing up people who cant afford the policies. that's my reason for leaving
